<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joshycfl, post: 498963, member: 16811&quot;]I would consider myself new as well.&nbsp; Back in October of 2008 I had no clue about anything that has to do with coins.&nbsp; I was bored one afternoon and was researching Silver as an investment diversification and thought it was neat to hold a &quot;physical&quot; investment.&nbsp; First thing i bought was some bullion 1oz rounds, 10 of them, thought hey, these are neat.&nbsp; I then bought small amounts of cheap 90% silver, about $400 worth at 10x face, still not having any clue about grade/keydates or anything.&nbsp; My girlfriend bought me the 2009 redbook and well, the rest is history.&nbsp; I now own a nice collection of 50 or so barber half dollars, 30-40 walking liberties, and about 25 or so Franklin halves.&nbsp; I also accumulated a small library worth of grading books and price guide books.&nbsp; In these short 4months&nbsp; there is only one thing i can tell you, dont overwhelm yourself with trying to know every coin type.&nbsp; Specialize, buy only what YOU like, and learn as much as you can before moving on.&nbsp; I consider myself lucky to have 5-6 coin shops within 10 miles of my house and spend every minute i can in them, even if I&#039;m not buying anything.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Enjoy,</p><p>Josh[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
